• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR038 - You are not authorized to revaluate at retail ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WR038 - You are not authorized to revaluate at retail
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the user attempting to perform a revaluation at retail does not have the necessary authorization. In SAP Retail, revaluation at retail is a sensitive operation that requires specific permissions. If the user’s role or profile lacks the required authorization objects or values, the system will prevent the action and display this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  Specifically, check for the authorization object related to retail revaluation, typically M_REVAL or similar (authorization objects can vary depending on the SAP Retail version and configuration).
  
  
  
  Assign Proper Authorization:
  
  Ensure the user has the authorization to perform revaluation at retail.
  The relevant authorization object might be:
  
  M_REVAL (Revaluation at retail)
  Or other related objects like M_MATE_WRK (Material Master: Plant Data), depending on the system setup.
  
  
  The authorization should include the correct activity (e.g., activity 02 for change or revaluation).
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, update the role in PFCG to include the necessary authorization objects and values.
  After role adjustment, assign the updated role to the user.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating authorizations, test the revaluation process again to confirm the error is resolved.
